My New Sparco Sprints are super uncomfortable - tips on making racing seats comfy?

So I just setup my S13 with Sparco Sprint seats. I would much have preferred a reclinable aftermarket seat that just has a bit more bolster support than stock but I have to abide by rules for drifting purposes.

As a driver I'm using the Sprint seat and a Circuit Sports sliding mount. I have the rear on the bottom most mount, and the front one mount up for purposes of I can't get it on both lower mounts for clearance. Anyhow, the angle of the seat is nice but the support under the legs is so damn tall and stiff I just about cut off the circulation of blood to my lower legs and seat. I just drove 15 minutes to my friends house and back and I feel like someone punched me in the back of the legs. I can also barely reach the pedals. I have to use my toes. I have an NRG deep wheel with a quick release and hub adapter so it sits a little farther back. It was perfect for the stock seat as far as position. I can't get rid of the quick release because I have to remove the steering wheel to get in and out easily

I also had it mounted on both medium mounts to tilt it forward and I feel like my face is going to rub the sun visor. The leg issue isn't as bad but I sit way too high like that. I'm only like 5'7"


Which brackets are you using for your Sprint seats and how tall are you? Should I just scrap this project and pick different seats?
